Gen 1:26-27 | alittleperspective.com

The first occurrence.

And God created the man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Gen 1:27

The primitive root.

Strong’s H2145 זכר zakar; an adjective, from Strong’s H2142 זכר zakar, a primitive root meaning, “to remember.”

zayin ז = mattock, thus tool, food, cut, nourish
kaph כ ך = open palm, thus bend, open, allow, tame
resh ר = head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man

The story: Recalling the covenant cut (zayin) wherein the open palm (kaph) of blessing was laid upon the head of the man (resh). Gesenius’ Hebrew Lexicon adds concerning “male,” H2145,

A male, as being he through whom the memorial of parents is continued.

The Hebrew Testament Biblical text is from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society edition posted by Mechon Mamre online. I have aligned the verse and chapter numbers to the KJV. The Greek Testament Biblical text is from the 1769 Authorized King James edition posted by Official King James Bible online.  For both Testaments, I have modernized words, spelling, and grammar. Translation changes to correct anti-Messiah and anti-Torah bias are noted in the text. The linked studies, chiastic structures, and Scripture pictures are my own and are copyright © Christine Miller.
